FFT3DFilter With DVD-RB

[Art Vandelay]

Has anyone used this filter FFT3DFilter I understand it does a goog job at making video sharper. I have downloaded it from the avisyth site http://avisynth.org.ru/fft3dfilter/fft3dfilter.html

I followed the directions but am confused by point this section that it is highlighted in red.


Filter uses fast external FFTW library version 3 (http://www.fftw.org)
as Windows binary DLL (compiled with gcc under MinGW by Alessio Massaro), which support for threads and have AMD K7 (3dNow!) support in addition to SSE/SSE2.
It may be downloaded from ftp://ftp.fftw.org/pub/fftw/fftw3win32mingw.zip
You MUST put FFTW3.DLL file from this package (not fft3dfilter.dll) to some directory in path (for example, C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32).
Filter will NOT work without it!

I have it in the system32 folder on c drive and I have the fftw3.dll in the plugins folder of avisyth so DVD-RB calls it from the folder. This is the only filter I can't get to work. HCinc just says can't find fftw3 but it is in the plugin folder.

Has anyone used this filter?

Thanks in advance,

AV

I think you have it backwards have a look here .If I remember correctly you have to put the FFTW3.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\system32 Folder just drag and drop it in there after that put the fft3dfilter.dll in the avisynth folder

????

@BR7

I downloaded the zip file again and put fftw3.dll in windows\system32 folder. However, I don't see fft3dfilter.dll in the fftw3win32mingw folder???? All I have is fftw3.def, fftw3.dll, fftw3.exp, fftw3.h, and fftw3.lib

the file fft3dfilter.dll isn't in the folder????

It basically means it should be in a directory which the OS knows how to access.

Goto start - > run, type cmd, press enter, in cmd prompt type "path" and press enter.

You can put your file in any of those directories shown to you.

@TR, I found the path to be c:\documents & settings\HP_Administrator

I put the fftw3.dll file there but I don't see the other file that BR7 was talking about fft3dfilter.dll that he says goes in avisyth plugins folder, it isn't in the zip folder.

Still not working??

fixed

Fixed, thanks BR7 & TR.

Nice to see you got it. I should have told you I did two separate downloads(sorry) But I didn't do it the way TR explained I downloaded the FFT3DFilter here and put it in my avisynth folder.Then I downloaded the FFTW3.DLL and extracted it to my win32 folder

[Art Vandelay]

I did the same as you (win32 folder) but I have it in the path that TR said also. Seem to be working but an avg. of 13 frame per sec on first pass then 9 ftps on 2nd pass with HCenc set at BEST. OH MY, with a AMD 64 X2 46000+ 1GB DDR2 SATA HD defraged a week ago.

I want to use it on a TV capture that is real smooth.

It's a slow sucker but it does a great job
